Displaying two box objects, side by side... HELP please!!!

Question

I have to write a program to test the method below, and I haven't a clue as to where to begin. The object is to have two boxes of varying height and length next to each other. Any clues????
public class Box
          private static final int MAX_LENGTH = 12;
          private static final int MAX_HEIGHT = 12;
          private static int numberOfBoxesCreated = 0;
          private int length = MAX_LENGTH / 2;
          private int height = MAX_HEIGHT / 4;
          private char symbol;
          private char convertSingleDigitIntToChar(int digit)
                    char digitAsChar = (char) (digit + (int)'0' );
                    return digitAsChar;
          public Box()
                    numberOfBoxesCreated++;
                    int unitsDigit =numberOfBoxesCreated % 10;
                    symbol = convertSingleDigitIntToChar( unitsDigit);
          public Box(int forLength, int forHeight)
                    numberOfBoxesCreated++;
                    int unitsDigit =numberOfBoxesCreated % 10;
                    symbol = convertSingleDigitIntToChar( unitsDigit );
                    if (forLength > 0 && forLength <= MAX_LENGTH)
                              length = forLength;
                    else
                              length = MAX_LENGTH;
                    if (forHeight > 0 && forHeight <= MAX_HEIGHT)
                              height = forHeight;
                    else
                              height = MAX_HEIGHT;
          public void standOnEnd()
                    int holder = length;
                    length = height;
                    height = holder;
          public void show1()
                    System.out.println();
                    String offset = " ";
                    for (int h = 0; h < height; h++)
                              System.out.print( offset );
                              for (int len = 0; len < length; len++)
                                        System.out.print( symbol );
                              System.out.println();
     }

The method has to diplay two boxes side-by side, as if they were sitting on the ground next to each other. The first box's character is the number 1. It has a height of 3, a length of 8 and has to sit six spaces from the left side of the page and be completely filled in. The second box sits six paces from the first, it has a height of 8, a length of 5 and the character has to be the number 2. This is filled in as well.
I understand I would have to build on the method. How would I go about formulating a plan to do this. The program is a textmode device, like a printer prints from left to right.
Thanks for reply
